ARRIVAL IN PARIS.

PARIS, December 3.-An immense
crowd assembled this evening at st.
Lazare's station to await the arrival
OF the senators and deputies. q eat
animation was shown upon the boule-
wards but no disorder. 1t is apparent
that the result of the election gives
great satisfaction.
Carnot drove direct to the Elysee,
taking formal possession OF the palace
and then retired to his own residence.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

BAN FRANCISCO, December 3.-A.
Scott Chapman, of San Gabriel, Com
missioner of Agriculture, submitted
his annual report to the State Board
OF Horticulture to-day. He states that
the past fruit season has been very
prosperous for Southern California,
but owing to the rise in real estate
many fine orchards have been
abandoned and replaced by beautiful
homes.
The black scale has ceased to be pest
owingto the parasite fly, which has
kept it in subsection. The red scale
is very bad, but Professor
Coquillete has found a parasite
feeding on it, and yet looks
to nature for relief. The white
scale has been steadily in
creasing, Notwithstanding the efforts
10 keep it in subsection. One internal
parasite has been found feeding on it,
which will be watched with interest,
The apple crop this year was very.
heavy. The nut crop and English
walnut crop both yielded and sold
we'll, though the price has since re-
coded from 8 to cents on the buyers
hands.
There is great future for California
lemons. This fruit keeps we'll, sells
we'll, and is ripening every month in
the year. The crop natures in De-
rember and January, but the fruit is
kept till June, when the market is
better.
ORANGE CULTURE. M
In os Angeles the orange crop is
behind owing to the ravages of red
and white scales. In San Bernardino
and San Diego counties the crop is
above the average. In San Diego the
cause is virgin soil and isolation from
insects. = In Riverside the cause is q
free use of fertilizer and quarantine
against insect pests.
The olive is more prominently
brought before the people OF the north
and south. 1t enjoys exemption from
white scale. The olive should not be
trained as tree, but as bush, with
extending limbs, SO that the fruit may
be gathered by the hand without
bruising. This accommodation is
made from observations of this prac-
tice in Europe.
In fig culture the white Adriatic
takes precedence, the fruit not falling
OH the tree, but drying thereon.

Cold-BIooded Murder.

TRINIDAD, COL, June IL Word was
brought to the city last evening, of q
tragedy that occurred yesterday morn
ing at Indianapolis, new town thirty
miles east of Trinidad, in which Young
McCarty. cowboy, whose home is in
the Trinidad, was killed, and John a.
Conn, a member of the Town Company.
was shot in the leg. The particulars
thus far obtainable are rather meagre,
but indicate that the murder of young
McCarty was cold-biooded and COW
ardly. Our informant says that the
victim was in a saloon, lying on the
floor, considerably intoxicated, when
another cowboy, whose name was not
learned, came up and asked McCarty
to go with him. The young man re-
piled that he would, and rolled over
with his back toward the speaker, who
without another word drew his revol-
yer, and shot McCarty through the
head, killing him instantly. He then
fred at Conny who was standing near
and wounded him. The murderer then
skipped out, and has not yet been ap-
pretended. There seems to be no cause
for the act.

Burned.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE steamer
ChampIain burned last night, off
Charlevoix, Michigan. Eight or ten
persons were drowned in attempting to
swim ashore from the burning boat.
The boat was running ten miles an
hour, when the flames suddenly shot
up beneath the engine, driving the en-
gineer from his post with his clothes on
fire. The alarm was given, sleeping
passengers aroused, and ten minutes
from the time it caught fire the pas
sengers were all compelled to jump
into the lake. The steward says there
were fifty-seven persons on board in
Guiding the crew; of this number
twenty are known to be drowned, and
seven are unaccounted for. Those saved
foated an hour and half, when they
we're rescued by yawl and fish boats
from shore. Several of the saved were
badly burned. Seven bodies have al
ready been recovered. The ChamplGin
was valued at about $4,000.

the opinion that tifty-One members We're

opinion yet, and confidently believe that

Perry greatest weakness with the people

from the anxiety of the public to retain
his services as Governor. But the law
gives the election to- the members of the
Legislature, and those who urge that ir-
regular mass meetings take the
matter in hand should first address
themselves To amend the law. The sup
porters of Perry make no anonymous
charges-they do not go outside the law
to gain their ends-they are ,cOnserva-
tive, dignified, law-abiding. because they
are inbued with the spirit of their chief.
The Governor is in his office fulfilling the
trust reposed in him-he is not shaking
hands ON the street.-the does not make
personal appeals for suppOrt-he does
not slop over in effusive speeches.

That missing Section.

The letter which the Times Union de
clared would throw flash of electric
light ON the mystery enshrouding the
disappearance of the Missing Section
was published on Sunday. 1t is dated at
Tallahassee on August %. 1885, and. after
long citations from public documents,
Mr.. Choate arrives at this conclusion
1T therefore appears from the record
Enthusiastically evident that the Secretary
of the Convention did not furnish the
EngroSsing Clerk with true copy of the
Article as passed on its second reading
for engrossment; or that If he did, the
Engrossing Clerk, by accident or design,
left out of the engrOssed copy the adtI-
tional section on the subject of State
printing. Also. that the Secretary did
not furnish to the Printer true copy of
the Article, as passed, to appear III the
Journal; or that, i he did, the Printer,
by accident or design, left out of the
Journal the said additional section"
Yet on the strength of this the Times
Union has filled the State with charges
against the State Printer. A trusted EN-
ploye writes friendly letter to his chief,
states private opinions and extends per
sonal good wishes to Mr.. Jones and re-
spectful compliments to Mrs. Jones.
And it is this letter, containing no new
evidence, which is thrown into a heated
public discussion wherein it has no leSiti-
mate place at present, and on whose
foregone conclusion it can have no intlu-
ence! We have expressed horror at per
sonal assaults on Perry and Sinclair and
OH MI 9th hun h1x of This
feeling now. The man who could open
his own fireside to the unhaIlowed gaze
of the outer world, has reached a depth
of debasement to which surprise cannot
descend And he who does this prated
only few days ago of the sane
tity of friendly communications!
The Times Union once gave its author
ity and announced to the world that the
PALATKA NEWS did not pay it's debts.
We offered publicly one hundred cents

Jones was dumb. When the source of

nation os a simple fact. On Sunday,

that THE PALATKA News is running be-
hind at the rate of about four hundred
dollars a week. This is a patent attack
which has been fired at the Jacksonville
Ners and Florida Herald till it rattle@
against our shields like an old chestnut.
But let the public see how long We can
